   Server Steve was excellent!! Fish tacos delish albeit a tad spicy for some at table Watermelon margarita sans triple sec was refreshing. Fun before NYE fireworks

   Thanks Gianna! The fish tacos are definitely fan favorites, although we understand that spice preferences may vary. We appreciate the shout-out to our team, and hope to welcome you back for more tropical margaritas soon! -Margaritaville Management Team

   The fried pickle chips came out soggy, unfortunately. I enjoyed the mahi mahi fish tacos and they were a bit spicier than expected (in the spice rub on the fish itself). Other food items were acceptable, but nothing memorable. We were there hoping to experience some Jimmy Buffet holiday music in association with their “Christmas Island” popup, but none was played sadly. Our server may have been having a bad day… still no excuse to be rude and simply walk away after we paid our check at the table where she watched our tipping choice (still 20%) on her handheld device - awkward.

Your feedback on both the food and service will help us enhance our service for the future. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, and we hope that we are able to serve you even better next time. -Margaritaville Management Team

   The food was delicious, generous portions. The restaurant was extremely loud. Louder than any establishment I’ve ever been to by far, but that’s alright. We will definitely be back next year!

   We visited for Jimmy Buffett day on Friday…enjoyed the atmosphere and the special items for the celebration of Jimmy! Food was good, a little pricey, but it is Chicago…only disappointment was that a souvenir glass I purchased ended up being “hand wash” only so when I washed it the paint came off with very little wiping…disappointing waste of $13.00.

   I did not receive the correct side dish and did not have time to wait. Hamburger was over done

   Great meal. We were really hoping to hear Jimmy Buffet, which was not on the playlist. Very odd for his restaurant.

    Obviously, when you go somewhere like Chicago for a weekend you should probably try something local. But this was the only OpenTable reservation. I could get on a busy weekend at late notice. Ambience and location were good – to be expected. Took a while to get the food which was also fine. But it was really not very good. Burgers were extremely dry and burnt.
